Comic's love! Born Pretty Store stamping plate review BP-L005

Hello!
How is your week end going so far? Mine is pretty lazy.

I have another stamping plate to show you, this one is from Born Pretty Store.
With the popularity of superhero movies and Comic-Con, comic-themed nail art is a playful new trend. I really like comics inspired nails, they're modern, a bit nerd, colourful and remind me of Pop Art. 

I own already some comic inspired stamping plates, you can see post here and here.

I like making my nails look like the pages of famous comic books. It is a nice way to create my own, unique story.
Born Pretty is enlarging  the stamping collection each week with some new and amazing products.
This plate in particular BP-L005 Valentine's Day and love in general, but it can also be used to celebrate a friendship or bachelorette parties.

The plate comes in an elegant paper sleeve.  The stainless steel plate measures 6.5 x 12.5cm and have a vinyl backing for increased ease of use. The designs are engraved on to the image plate and covered with a protective film which needs to be removed before use.

It has 12 designs that can fit larger and longer nails, each measures 2,5 x 1,8 cm.
The first 6 designs are abstract pattern with hearts, lines, stripes, lips, written like love, kiss and hugs.
The second 6 designs are images of couples, kissing, hugging and share precious moments.

The company was kind enough to offer a 10% discount to my readers. Just use promo code RASX31  during checkout. Shipping is free on all orders as well!

 For this nail art I started with a white base then I added a watercolour painting with yellow, green and pink/red. I stamped with a regular nail polish. I did not use a stamping polish because I think that a regular one will give the effect of a real print, with some parts ligher or missing.

Nude nails with iridescent sequins from Born Pretty Store

Another nail art with the set of nail sequins from Born Pretty Store.
You already know that I love this set, I found it so versatile and useful. I was curious to try this on a nude colour and I can say I find it amazing, such a delicate and precious touch to a normal nail style.

You can use this with uv gel or normal polishes; with normal polishes you have to make more than one coat of clear topper to make sure the sequins are in place.
I mixed all the sequins in this set and I really love the result! I think this nail art will look great with a matte top coat too!

You can use these sequins for decorations and your diy project to decorate your home, cell phone's case, glasses, made card, body art and make up.

I decided to pair this nail look with a clear lip gloss, I used some of these sequins on the lips too.
I hope you'll love the result.

Coloured sequins nailart and video tutorial

Hello!
I am so excited to show you this product today!!!
Born Pretty Store was nice enough to ask me to do a review of some products for their website and since I have been dying to try these iridescent sequins on my nails I opted to review these. I have been shopping on Born Pretty pretty much since I started this blog. They have everything you can wish for in the nail art world and their prices are hard to beat -there is also free shipping.

You will get 6 boxes for the price of 3.59 usd. Each box contains 2 gr of product this means a lot of them. I am totally in love with this products. I love the shapes and the fact that they come in different colours and sizes. The sequins are quite sheer with an iridescent sheen and tone that makes them appear different over different colours.  I think that the shades included can cover all the color spectrum.

Here there are some picture that show you how they look in the pot and over a black base:

Mixed shapes

Stars

 Hearts

Exagons

Flowers

Round shape

Here is a short video to show you the application:

It is very easy to apply them:
 You can apply them over a layer of wet nail polish, in this case a chose a black shade and set them in place with another layer or two of clear top coat.
The application was very easy because I used this great new tool: a white wax pencil expecially designed to pick up gems, rhinestones, sequins.
The larger sequins are a bit harder to use because they don’t bend to the curvature of your nails, you can try to shape them before or  add more layers of clear top coat just to be sure.

Half moon spring nail art! Water decals from Born Pretty Store

Hello!
Today another nail art featuring some Born Pretty Store products, I've worked with them in the past and I love their nail products, they are affordable and their quality is amazing.
I really liked the set of floral water decals, there are 12 pattern in all colours and styles.
I picked design number A1378  a mix of colourful flowers and butterflies, these colours reminds me of summer or a sunny day in a country side. As you can see from pictures all designs are beautiful and extremely detailed. You won't be disappointed with them. 

The application is very easy.
The waterdecals are protected by a transparent sheet. You can select the size and the design you want, cut it with a scissor. Don't forget to remove the plastic sheet. Cut out the section of decals, and let it soak in room temperature water for about 20-30 seconds, slide the decals off the paper backing with tweezers and place on the nails with the white or nude base coat
The instructions suggest to place it on  the nail and blow dry. The last step is to secure it with clear nail polish. In my case with a glossy top coat.

I decided to do a halfmoon cut, cutting a curved shape at the base of the water decal. Then I added some silver studs with a bit of clear polish and a dotting tool.

Hello!
In today’s post I would like to show you a big set of water decals from the Born Pretty Store online store.

You will get  a sheet with 12 water decals pattern to use on your nails. It measure 24,5 cm x 15,8 cm, so it is very large and the price is only 1,29 usd at the moment. You can choose between two sets, I chose number 1 because I thought the colours were more suitable for spring/summer.

I really love each designs, some are more realistic, others more stylized, my favourite ones are in a watercolour style that I find very girly and delicate.

I love water dacals because they are an easy and fast way to switch your nail look form normal to fancy. The big advantage of water decals is how thin they are. They lay flat on the nails and once you apply top coat everything is smooth. You can see from this closer look that they are completely seamless, with no wrinkles, bumps, or lines.


I decided to use first the ones with roses and daises. This pattern has beautiful pastels colours, and very nice details of petals and leaves.I used them on a white base because it is the best option for light decals.

It all for now!

Embossed mirror chrome nailart

Hello,
As promised I am going to show you how to achieve this look on nails.
I have seen some embossed nails around the internet last year.
The embossed effect is mainly created by a 3d gel polish applied with a thin brush to create designs and such as swirls, dots, lines.

I am recently enjoying trying out different nail technique and in this post I will share about 3D embossed nail art stickers
As you know I don't use gel polishes, so as always I have an alternative method.
In this short video I will show you how to achieve this look.


I started with a white nail polish base, I applied the 3D nail art sticker.
Then I applied a thin layer of the mirror reflect chrome polish from the company Born Pretty Store.
It is a unique formula that guarantees a mirror effect look in a few simple strokes.
This polish need a special base coat to smooth the surface of the nail and make the result last longer.
I was so dumb that I did not take the base coat so I ended up tring this nail polish on false nails and for a long lasting result I used a water base nail polish from Little Ondine and it worked perfectly.

Here is the video tutorial:

Gold rose chrome mirror liquid nail polish from Born Pretty Store

Hello,
Today we will be testing out a nail product I have been wanting for a loooooong time!
It has to do with the mirror chrome trend!

The mirror nails was a huge trend in the nail art world in the few last years. But it needed specific tools and more steps to be completed.
The magic mirror effect was created with a very fine powder that you rubbed onto a base colour. The sad thing was that a normal top coat would have ruined the chrome effect so this look was available only for UV gel users or in salons or with a special trick (that I have shown you a few moths ago in this video).

For all the lazy nail art addicted out there the nail industry came out with a great product that can make us save money and time (more preciuos than money!)
It is liquid mirror reflect chrome polish from the company Born Pretty Store!
It is a unique formula that guarantees a mirror effect look in a few simple strokes.

These are the application instruction
How to use:
1. Use File and buffer to let your nails get a smooth surface and remove oiliness
2. Apply one coat of base coat, wait it dry
3. Shake the bottle before use to let the color be even
4. Apply the metal polish wait it dry

This polish need a special base coat to smooth the surface of the nail and make the result last longer.
I was so dumb that I did not take the base coat so I ended up tring this nail polish on false nails and for a long lasting result I used a water base nail polish from Little Ondine and it worked perfectly.

I am not able to tell you how long the colour will last on natural or false nails because this was my first time testing, I will let you know in the future.
I think it can last one or two days because it is not a normal nail polish, but it is so beautiful that it worth the effort.
The bottle contains 9 ml, a lot of product.

As I said before it is different from a normal nail polish and the consitency will surprise you, it is very thin and liquidy. When you first apply it it won't look mirror at all, but if you wait a few minutes you will see the amazing transformation: a prefect mirror chrome effect, not stricky, perfectly even and shiny. It is very important to shake well the bottle before applying it and it takes just one coat for full opacity.
Born Pretty did an amazing job with this product and it is not expensive at all compared to the ones are out in the market.

I picked a gold rose colours " Get a Penny" and it is stunning, there are others 6 shades, all amazing it was so hard to choose just one!

In the next post I will show you a tutorial to create the 3d embossed effect that you can now see on the ring nail.
